The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mgs) a day and an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. Because the average Americanâs sodium intake is so excessive, even cutting back to no more than 2,400 milligrams a day will significantly improve blood pressure and heart health.
This huge majority should get less than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day. But the average American gets more than twice the recommended daily dose of sodium: 3,466 milligrams of sodium per day. This means we're at risk of da ngerously raising our blood pressure. That high blood pressure increases our risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
